Just thought I'd share. I was following an online estate auction and hoped to pick up a few items to flip at the next militaria show. HOLY S#$T! Some people with VERY deep pockets and more money than brains really wanted the bayonets. For instance, a standard Sanderson SMLE sword bayonet with scabbard ended up going for $652.!!! Two '05 Ross rifle bayonets, one with the scabbard, one without; $520.! BTW, this is in Canadianicon dollars. Everything in which I had an interest went for crazy prices. I understand collecting and passionate collectors, but really? My brother remarked how, years back, a bidding frenzy erupted over a No.4 sniper rifle. It ended up going for almost $17000. by the time you factored in the buyers premium and taxes. How many of you guys have run into this?
